Admissions Requirements for KCC
Kellogg Community College is an equal opportunity, equal access college with open admission. Admission to KCC is open to anyone who demonstrates the motivation and maturity to benefit from courses and programs offered; however, admission to specific programs is not necessarily guaranteed.
Admission is open to anyone who fits into one of the following categories:
- High school graduate
- Earned a high school equivalency certificate (GED)
- Completion of a home school program
- Age 18 or older
- A student desiring to participate in the Dual Enrollment Program
A lack of English language proficiency does not prevent admission to KCC; however, most college courses require basic proficiency in English. The Next Gen ACCUPLACER® writing and ESL tests can help you determine if improvement is needed. Please see an Academic Advisor for assistance.
